PERFORMANCE

If, in my low moments, in word, deed or attitude, through some error of temper, taste or tone, I have caused anyone discomfort, created pain or revived someone's fears, that was not my truest self

Jesse Jackson

What was done can not be undone.

Bill Clinton

An atonement ritual following a strictly memorized script has established itself on the world stage: the public apology. Deeply Really Truly dedicates itself to this ritual with a performance about grand gestures, the power and powerlessness of words and the yearning for substance. The dancers place their voices and bodies to disposal and dive into the plethora of apology speeches from the last decade emanating from the world of politics, economics and pop culture.
